The truth behind Brooklyn Beckham blocking David and Victoria

The Beckham family’s long-running feud has taken another deeply personal turn, and this time it’s played out in full public view.

What started as Instagram unfollow rumors quickly escalated into blocking allegations, emotional fallout, and new accusations of manipulation.

At the center of it all is Brooklyn Beckhamwhose decision to cut off all contact with his famous parents stunned observers, especially given the timing, just days before Christmas and during some of the most important moments in history. David Beckhamthat’s life.

The latest rift in the Beckham family feud emerged over the weekend, when reports claimed that David and Victoria Beckham had unfollowed Brooklyn Beckham on Instagram.

The allegation was quickly refuted by their youngest son, Cruz Beckham, who insisted the situation was much more serious.

On his Instagram Stories on Sunday, Cruz shared a screenshot of a Daily Mail article about his parents unfollowing Brooklyn.

He noted that, contrary to reports, he and his parents had been stranded.

“FALSE! My mom and dad would never stop following their son. Let’s get the facts straight. They woke up stuck. Me too,” Cruz wrote.

Tensions within the Beckham family reportedly began shortly after Brooklyn Beckham began dating Nicola Peltz, the American actress and daughter of billionaire Nelson Peltz.

According to sources close to the matter, relations deteriorated further after the couple’s engagement.

The first major rift came over Nicola’s wedding dress, after Victoria promised to design it, but subsequently failed to deliver.

Things got worse on the wedding day itself in April 2022, when Marc Anthony described Victoria, not the bride, as “the most beautiful woman in the room.”

Friends later claimed the moment left Brooklyn and Nicola in tears, and alleged the Beckhams had “ruined” the day.

Although attempts were made to repair relations subsequently, underlying resentment persisted.

The actress attended Victoria’s fashion shows and milestone birthday celebrations, but insiders say the peace was fragile.

In April of this year, tensions reignited, paving the way for an even more public breakup.

By the time Brooklyn and Nicola returned to the UK for David’s 50th birthday celebrations, the relationship had deteriorated to the point where the couple felt unable to attend any of the parties.

This absence marked a turning point. From that point on, the feud became impossible to ignore. Over the summer, briefings from both sides intensified.

Sources linked to the Beckhams have reportedly claimed that Nicola “controls” Brooklyn, with some even calling him a “hostage.”

The hostility further intensified when the former photographer and his wife renewed their wedding vows in August.

All members of the Peltz family were present, while David and Victoria were conspicuously absent, a decision described as a “kick in the teeth.”

Following the latest fallout, a friend of Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola revealed that David and Victoria had been asked to stop contacting the couple.

According to the source, the Beckhams’ social media activity is causing anxiety for Brooklyn and Nicola, who wake up worried about what may have been posted overnight.

“The Beckhams started these ‘blocking’ games earlier this year and they continue,” the friend told Daily Mail. “Whether someone follows someone else on Insta or any other platform should not be and is not a story.”

The source added that the couple “just want peace” and have deliberately avoided responding publicly.

Even Cruz’s intervention was perceived negatively and described as another form of pressure.

“The Instagram thing is just a media game — it feels like more manipulation, more gaslighting,” the friend said, explaining that it only drives the couple further apart.
